As you can see my ONLY key is a little broke in but it works in everything doors, ignition, and trunks.

I have a new key to cut but I hate to make a replica of such a worn key, what do you think I should do what does it run to get every thing re-keyed?

This wasn't a big deal till I lost my key for a couple of weeks and my wife wanted to drive the car. <_<

Find an actual locksmith, A good one locally. I have had copies made from keys that looked that bad that worked.

Problem you might run into would be the drivers door tumblers and ign tumblers will have worn with that key sometimes making the passenger side/glove box and hood latche(s) not work because those tubmlers havent worn down with the key. You might have to pull a door handle and have a key made by the number.

A good locksmith will take the copied key, go test it for you. You might see them turn the key back and forth (If it doesn't work), pull it out and file on it a bit. They will usually repeate this process until the key works. They are turning the key back and forth marking the high spots on the key with the tumblers.

Probably too much info. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
